gear change shaft

<< < (2/2)

edkx:
So could you use the updated part and just use a shifter from a newer model?

THIRD FIVE:
I didn't try it, I just used another shift lever that I already had.  It looked the same except for the spline, and I assume that is the only change, but I didn't verify.

Polar-Bus:
Looks like Kawasaki has 3 versions of the KX500 shifter: '82-'91, '92-'93, and '94-'04. Try cross referencing other related shift and drum parts associated with the shift shaft on a newer 2000+ 500. I bet you will find the mating components are the same part #'s (also check the crankcase p/n's). I am willing to bet if you purchase a new shaft, and run a newer year shifter you will be all set.

Kawasaki won't superceede your old shaft p/n because then your older shifter won't work on the new shaft.
